There has been some talk about
starting Republican newspaper in
this city, but from the best informa-
ton we can get, the matter has not
yet assumed business shape. If our
Republican friends are going to start
paper from patriotic motives, all
well and good, but if they expect to
make money out of it they will very
likely be mistaken. With six papers
a week, Hopkinsville already has
more publications shan are making
money at the business. But still we
do not want to discourage the pro-
jeclors of the enterprise. There is a
big opening here for another news
paper, but we would hate to see
clever set Of fellows, whom we like
in spite of their politics, fall headlong
into II.

POWELL DEFENDED.

owensboro Messenger.
The Morganfield Sun says /.

The Morganfield Sun says:
alike reynard in extermis when u
man finds himself in difficulties for
which lie can discover no solution,
and defeat and disappointment are
tapping their dark wings directly in
his face to still further increase his
distraction and confusion, he thinks
and performs with a fatuous rapidly
"a restless, feverish haste which can
only multiply his troubles and add to
his incapacity to nationally think and
to act with judgment, promptness
and efficiency. Such a disturbed con-
dition of cosncious helplessness must
be that of the Ellis organs at Owens
boro. Not long ago they very incon-
siderately and without a sufficient
array of facts TO sustain such an as
sault, attacked Mr.. Powell with an al
legged Combination" charged as hav-
ing been formed by him and Laffoon
looking to the succession Of the latter
by the former in Congress. Messrs
Powell and LafToon both strenuously
deny the allegation, and down in this
country where both are so well known
the people believe them innocent of
the charge. Not satisfied with this
peculiar method of prosecuting can
vass they sought also to fOist upon it
certain odium among the other
counties of the district by involving
our County Attorney, Henry Allen,
in the indictment against Powell and
Latioon this by the very erroneous
and gratuitous statement to the effect
that in consideration of Unions stand
ing by Mr.. Powell for Congress,
Henderson would return the favor
by supporting Mr.. Allen for Com
monwealth's Attorney. Mr.. Allen
has never been, is not now, norris lie
likely to be candidate for the last
mentioned office, while Henderson
has An avowed candidate for the
place. Then comes last and still
further attempt to create breach of
the friendly and harmonious re-
litions existing between Henderson
and this county by the announcement
of a strong probability that Hon. Ben.
p. Cissell has very noisy Congress
sional bee buzzing in his bonnet, and
that Henderson county wants to "hog-
the whole persimmon" in the matter
of public offices. This also is a mis-
representation. Mr.. Cissell has no
such idea, and isl strong supporter of
Mr.. Powell for that office. Was ever
office by such methods won n
Mr.. Ellis has many friends and adj
mirers in this county, many who will
in all probability vote for him in the
coming contest but If he is unable to
restrain or modify the foolish aud in
temperate utterances of his home
press, which the people generally re.
gard as his mouth-pieces, and TO keep
them from over-stepping the bounds !

The following facts about thu
Second District vote are CLEANED
from the election reports: Christian
gave Buckner 1893, Bradley 2646
Davies, Buckner $3.50, Bradley 1897
Hancock, Buckner 696, Bradley 1853
Henderson, Duckner 2475, Bradley
1895 Hopkins, Buckner 1869, Bradley
1867 Mclean, Buckner S07, Bradley
$50; Union, Buckner 1893, Bradley
632. Hancock and Henderson in
creased their vote but the former did
not increase their its majority. Fox
received 754 and Cardin 297 votes in
the district. The entire vote of the
district was 23,249, Buckner's vot,
was l2,449 and Bradley's 9,749, a
majority of 300 for Buckner. This
is decrease of ], 293from the 1884 vote,
which was 1864 for Cleveland and
9,67l for Blaine. The delegate strength
of the counties in Democratic conven.
tons will be changed as follows
Christian 8 votes instead of 10, Dav.
less ID instead of lG, Hancock 3 as
before, Henderson u instead Of IL,
Hopkins s as before, Mclean 4 as
before, Union s instead of 8, Webster
5 instead of6 Total 81 instead of 81.
1t may be of interest TO Congressional
aspirants 10 note that Henderson and
Union have exactly the same number
of votes as Davies, Hancock and Nc
Lean and the candidate who goes in
with the 20 votes of either bunch of
counties must carry two of the three
'emaining counties 10 DO nominated.

out and the style in which they are
gotten up is credit not only to the
efficient Secretary, Mr.. Urey Wood
son, but also TO the Greensboro Mes

was done. The addresses made and
papers submitted at the Louisville
meeting are given in full and the
book is illustrated with the portraits
of eight or ten of the leading editors
Of the State press. Forty four papers

to get it in the near future.

The wheat of Christian County is

bushel of it should be ground at home
in our mills which have established a

This would secure the farmers a

TO secure this market competing

4. j Cheney q Co., Toledo, O.-Dear Sirs;
About three months ago, noticing u letter
addressed 10 you in the Bee from Gen. Sleyin,
in reference 10 the cure OF his son by the use
Of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were induced TO
commence the use of 1t for our daughter
Nellie now fourteen years old, who has been
suffering from catarrh for about eight years,
during which time she has been treated by
one ofth best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use OF almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no more
success thsn temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth open
TO keep her from straDglinE. Her hearing
had also became affected. We were afraid
that she would never recover. We have
now used six bottles OF HALLS CATARKH
CURE. and we believe Nellie TO DO entirely
cured. In few days after commencing the
use OF IL we noticed 4 decided change for the
better, and from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she Dreathes as easily as
any one. She sleeps well and her hearing is
perfectly good, We feel that the disease Ia
entirely removed We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling thatit is due You, and with
the hope that others may be benefited In like
manner. We can hardly realize that such q
change could be effected in so short a time
after battling with the disease 90 long. We
are still using the remedy at intervals, as IL
seems TO build up her system. You are at
liberty to use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours, truly,

ODESSA, Jan. 5.-Mcrry Christmas is
past, but as usual has left pleasant menu
ories for us to cherish until her next
visit. We spent our Christmas at tho
residence of Oscar T.. Rice, where COM
pany of forty or more assem- bled to cele-
brate the day. After All excellent dinner,
which was credit to the skill of = small
brigade Of ladies', We all assembled in the
whled away with social chat, inter-
spersel with vocal and instr rnmental mu-
sic and recitations. We do not wish to
be partial, but the rendering by Elmer
Moore OF "Curfew Shall Not Ring To-
night" impressed US with the idea that
Elmer has more than ordinary talent,
and he ought to cultiv Ito it. Many 9TH
ers, both old and young, rendered good
re re:itations, and the entertainment was
more tn IN a success, considering that nj
preparation II ID been made by tho speak.
ers for the o >:casion.
As none OF the public schools are in
operation. the residents in the eastern
part OF our township have, with com.
mendabie enterprise, established a pri.
va:e school, wi IL Miss Maybelle Calder
wood as te ,che-. About dozen pupjla
are in regular attendance.
Here is our solution of the prObleiI
propoundel by Early Rose" II ont
ship 81 lis at the rate of ten miles per houl
and the other at the rate OF five, the tas
,ler will have crossed the ocean wher
the slower one has accomplished bu
o le-ilalf the distance. AS the fast sailel
tn ms to meet the slow, there remains
| onc.lalf Of the whole distance to be GOV
cred by the two ships. Now, as the fas
| sliler travels twice as tast rs the slow
she must cover two o-thirds Of The one-h
leaving the slow sailer to cover the one
third of the one-half, which is equal II
one-sixth of the whole distance. One-hal
and one-sixth equal four-sixths or two
thirds; therefore, the slow sailing vesse
| has covere two-thirds Of the distance
when hailed by the returning vessel.
